What parents say
Awesome and Durable
We bought these as I was concerned about babies teeth and mouth being impacted by having to bottle feed.
The nipples are nice and flexible and the latch line is really helpful as she always had issues latching.
The bottle opacity makes it look like glass, which is nice as you can clearly see what’s inside and if clean properly.
Will definitely buy more but a bit expensive so have to save up.
Excellent glass bottle choice
Love the Pigeon glass bottles. Feels like the safest option for my baby. Do prefer the taller/more narrow design of the previous model as this one has a more accentuated curve at the top making it easier for milk residue to collect but honestly still a great option - would recommend.
Best Bottle Ever
Best bottles ever! We have used pigeon bottles from the very beginning with our bub and he has had no issues. They never leak, they are so easy to clean, they last so well and show no wear. Perfect bottle, would recommend to everyone.
Tough bottle for UV steriliser
Tougher plastic and feels much sturdier to go into the UV steriliser.
